Peel and dice pears.

Place pears, lemon juice, maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger slice, nutmeg, and salt in a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat- bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes with a lid, slightly ajar.

Remove fresh ginger slice and use an immersion blender, or mash by hand, simmer an additional 10 minutes.

Transfer mixture to a jar with a tight fitting lid and store for up to 2 weeks.
